THG Task Assignment Manager is an invaluable utility for anyone with a multi-processor or multi-core computer. It allows you to increase the speed of your computer by configuring certain tasks to individual processors. Known as "affinity," this will save your program settings and maintain profiles of them in the future. This has many benefits including:
  • Keeping one program from using all your system resources
  • Increasing speed to two or more programs that aren't optimized for multi-processor systems
  • Helping run some games that require a correct affinity setting to run properly
Note that the program has to be configured and then actively running for processor affinity to work; it does not function automatically.


Writes settings to: Application Folder
How to extract: Download the zip package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking TaskAssign.exe.
License: Freeware
System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista

[Anonymous] LarryGInteresting that their own benchmarks don't demonstrate that this utility is "invaluable" at all. [2008-01-01 09:40]

[Anonymous] [BOT] FluffyLarryG: Admittedly I wrote this a bit subjectively since I play a lot of older games that have plenty of issues with dual cores. One of these games is Quake 3 (and its derivative engines), which is still wildly popular and has spawned the standalone games World of Padman and Warsow. So, for me, this utility truly is invaluable. [2008-01-01 18:39]

[Anonymous] ArrrgThis is frusterating, I cant download this. Someone email it to me b_r_e_w@hotmail.com Please. [2008-03-06 05:17]

[Anonymous] Dave ColemanNice little program. has solved the "won't work" problem for a number of legacy games I play. Would be nice if it could be minimised on the task bar though. [2008-05-06 09:33]

[Anonymous] ArdeeThis tool really helps a lot! In the past, I've always had to assign affinities manually (and repeatedly). However, since it's supposed to stay running in the background, wouldn't it make sense for it to be a Tray-based utility? (It seems that you CAN minimize it to the taskbar: right-click its taskbar icon and select "Minimize" -- but the tray makes more sense for a tool you want running more or less permanently.) [2008-06-04 10:02]

[Anonymous] YeahIt should run in the system tray. Nice app in all other ways though! [2008-06-06 13:53]

[Anonymous] epiquestionsI assigned affinity through the task manager (super and warcraft 3) and it retains/saves it. when I rebooted/shutdown my pc and check it the affinities are still saved so why do we need this? [2008-10-01 19:53]

[Anonymous] DílentecHi! For Trybar minimizing there are a bunch of utilities that can do so. I use Petr Laštovička's Hotkeyp by adding a hotkey for Trybar Minimizing. Thanks. Hope this is usefull.

[Anonymous] HeavywatersSimply right-click the Assignment Manager in the taskbar, select minimize. The best thing this utility manages is to reduce the temp on my old PentiumD by a good 10deg+. [2008-12-11 11:17]

[Anonymous] Paul ChanceDoes it work on a Win 2003 Server platform? [2009-03-15 18:23]

[Anonymous] querryhas anyone noticed if you need to have the program running to have the affinity settings apply? [2009-11-20 06:56]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
